Owning a 15-inch MacBook Pro doesn’t mean settling for less memory than the 17-inch can handle. Not anymore, and not if you’ve got deep pockets.
Apple now offers an 8.0GB memory upgrade kit for mid- and high-end 15-inch MacBook Pros. The kit includes two 4GB modules and costs a big $1,200. At that price it’s not for everyone, but it should satisfy power users who prefer a smaller laptop yet don’t want to compromise on speed or performance.
The upgrade kit is available for the 2.66-GHz ($2499) and 2.93-GHz ($2799) 15-inch MacBook Pro models, both of which ship with 4GB of RAM and no RAM upgrade option.
By the way, this comes with free shipping, so that’s something.
